I Have A Gout Flare-up For 7 Weeks Now And

I have a gout flare-up for 7 weeks now and it is still bothering me. It has not gone away. At times, it gets better and it looks that it will be healed but then it comes back. I have been eating foods, mostly vegetables low in purine content with very little slice of baked chicken breast without the skin. I do not know what to do. Early in the gout flare-up my doctor prescribed me two batches (5 tablets each bath) of prednisone. It helped a little only. Then I am taking Aleve as need arises. Two weeks ago I had my blood uric acid taken and it was 5.6 and normal blood kidney functions. I do not know whether my body after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is producing more uric acid now.
